For me, no I wouldn't do STR for a few reasons one being too much work and turnover.

The plan was to complete flooring, electrical upgrades, new kitchen and bathroom, exterior fascia work, and some new windows, with a target listing date of June 15th.Update (5/12/24):The property has been stabilized since June 1st of the previous year with great tenants in place.

To obtain a permit you will need a scope of work and sketch plan.

Go to meetups, attend auctions, host your own meetups, hit up EVERYONE in your sphere of influence and add value to/communicate with your database on a regular basis so that you remain top of mind.Just put in the work and try to be a better agent every day.

With regard to the contractor, you want to give proper notice for when the contractor will come to do work and that depends on your state's laws and also your lease.If you give proper notice and the tenant refuses entry, then I would talk to the tenant and explain to them that they are violating the lease and could be evicted if this continues.
